[0:00] caucuses. This is Huntley Brinkley time
[0:02] with Keith Oberman and Chris Matthews.
[0:04] Countdown starts right now.
[0:08] >> At this hour in Iowa, based on early
[0:10] entrance poll results from NBC News,
[0:12] Governors Huckabe and Romney are
[0:14] fighting for first place in the
[0:15] Republican straw poll. On the Democratic
[0:17] side, the early entrance poll results
[0:19] show Senators Clinton and Obama with
[0:21] initial support greater than the other

[1:14] and such, Obama and Edwards gain a lot.
[1:17] Clinton only gains a little. Bill
[1:20] Richardson and Joe Biden both denying

[1:24] float to Obama. Republicans, it's
[1:27] Huckabe in the morning polling by six.
[1:30] Unless it's Romney in the morning
